Yu-Gi-Oh! also continues with its CCG dominance (source), however I don’t really understand their release schedule, so you’re on your own. Did you know that there exist Yu-Gi-Oh! arcade games called Duel Terminals into which you can scan your cards and then play the machine? (more info)

Topps is releasing a Match Attax TCG for the World Cup (source) as well as a TCG for the relatively new Indian Premier League cricket. (source) Topps would also like you know how successful its Club Penguin TCG is doing. (source)

Phylo: The Trading Card Game is a CCG based on real-world animals, the inspiration for which is that, apparently, more kids can name Pokemon creatures than real-world animals. The game will be open source, and the game design is still being worked out. (source)
